the defense. It was just 9:15 when ne COM
4 menced the reading of his Instructions, sub
stantially as follows
GENTLEMEN: The Law. .and instructions given to
you have to be given in writing There have been
Instructions prepared and given to me both by the
people and the defense. thall read you first
those for the people. In some instances they have
been modified and changed by me. The instruc.
tions on behalf Of the people on one hand and the
defense on the other arc just ss they have been
submitted to me- with such notifications as I
thought the law required IN each instance.
On behalf of the people, gentlemen, the court
tnstructs tho jury as a matter Of law that IL two
or more persons conspire or agree together with
fraudulent or malicious intent, wrongfully, wick
edly and knowingly to injure the private charac.
ter. business or property OF another, or to obtain
money or other property on false pretenses or to
do any act injurious to the public property,
morals, police, or public justice, they shall be
deemed guilty Of a conspiracy. and every such de-
fendant or other person convicted Of conspiracy,
under the common law shall be
confined in the penitentiary for
term not exceeding three years and
shall be fined in q sum not exceeding 81 900.
conspiracy is q combination of two or more per-
sons to accomplish some criminal or unlawful
purpose or object against the interest Of another,
By criminal or unlawful means. 1t is not neces-
Eary that the consprators should succeed In their
designs; nor is any overt act necessary to COM
plete tho crime. The crime is completed when
the confederacy TO pursue common Illegal pur-
pose Ii made. Tho court instructs the Jury that
al who take part In the conspiracy by joining or
entertaining such confederacy after it is formed
and while It's objects are in execution are Cocoon
spirators
The court then read the instructions on the
part Of the defendants. They were even
more voluminous than those for the prosecu-
ton. They were in substance as follows: The
jury are instructed that this case is not to be
decided upon the assertions, insinuations or
denounciations of counsel but upon the
evidence alone. Before they reach and
render verdict in this case the defendants
must be found to be guilty of the specific
ofense charged under the edictment. They
must first be convinced that an agreement
was entered into

NEW YORK, June 20.-The Railway au-
thorities have industriously spent several
days and nights investigating Caspar Straum-
backs history and the threads of his so-called
confession that he murdered the unknown
girl They have about come to the conclusion
that he is fraud. Mayor DAILY, Chief of
Police Tooker, State Detective Kerol, and the
district attorney of Union county had con-
ference in Elizabeth, at which it was decided
to waste no further time or money on this
particular development, at least until the
Illinois officers produce some assurance OF

the house of farmer named Anthony, living
four miles from Otterville, and made a des-

her, he threatened to kill her child if she did
not submit. She fought desperately and
finally escaped to the house of a neighbor.
The alarm was quickly given throughout the
neighborhood, and a score of sturdy farmers
armed with shot-guns, revolvers and corn
knives started on the trail. 1t is thought the

Leggett was hanged Friday in Reidsville for
the murder of Lille Graydon, his paramour.
The couple came from North Carolina, and
lived in Tatnall county as man and wife The
first sign of unhappiness was when they were
visited by voodoo doctor, who cast spell
upon them. Lille then declared that she was
not married to Leggett, and left him, going
to the house of neighbor. Leggett begged
her on every occasion to resume her relations
with him. One day in February last, while
walking along country road, Lille was set
upon by her lover and stabbed to death. Her
body was dragged into a marshy spot near
by, where it was found a few days later by
boys who were in search of fish-bait. Leg
gett should have been hanged on the 18th Of
May, but was saved by the action Of his at

pocket until the sheriff was ready to send the
victim through the trap. He has thus ex-

three more witnesses testified to having seen
the inevitable veiled woman driving gray
pony on the night of the murder. David
Fisher, colored, porter Of the Laclede hotel in
Independence testified that in April, 1885,
Graham and Cora roomed together as man
and wife, and Mrs. Molloy occupied a sep
arate room. The state closed its case. At
torney Sewell outlined the defense He said
he would prove that Cora Lee never came to
Springfield on the night of Sept 30, 1885;
that George and Sarah passed through and
got off the cars at Dorchester, seven miles
west of Springfield, and that Cora Lee slept
that night between two little girls at the
Molloy farm, and many other things that will
establish the innocence of defendant.
